Board Orientation - Wyoming Nonprofit Network
Board Orientation
Often overlooked and imperative to the success of a board of directors is the board member orientation process.
The board chair conducts an annual orientation session and is the speaker for most of the topics below. However, the board may elect to have an outside person come in to help review the roles and responsibilities of the board and management, as well as board governance and operating guidelines. It is a good idea for all new and current board members to participate in this orientation session.
Sample board orientation schedule:
1. Overview of agenda 2. Overview of organization (Executive Director) 3. Overview of board manual 4. Roles and responsibilities of board members 5. Board job descriptions 6. Overview of board structure and operations 7. Strategic plan review (accomplishments) 8. Calendar for the upcoming year--training/programs for board meetings 9. Evaluate the meeting
Items 1 through 8 should be compiled in a board member manual. The following page outlines the contents of the manual in more detail.
